Hip-hop troika brings the bad-girl power on July 3 remix EP

Ah, yes, here’s further proof of the prescience of Beyoncé’s 4 player-replacer “Run the World (Girls).” On Sunday night, the San Francisco pop-rock band Girls’ music appeared on the HBO post-mumblecore show Girls, reversing an earlier apparent beef launched from the Twitter account of frontman Christopher Owens. Now, M.I.A. has unleashed a remix of her latest unforgettable video selection“Bad Girls” by “Run the World” producer (and previous M.I.A. producer) Switch, and the all-female guest list can pass on a couple of the hottest female rappers working — Nicki Minaj, Azealia Banks — and still be as stacked as Thelma & Louise juicing A League of Their Own with human growth hormone.

Check out Missy Elliott’s ham sandwich shout-out, and evidently a guest spot from M.I.A.’s own offspring: “Shout out to ikhyd for gettin on the remix !!!” she tweeted.

Bad Girls – The Remixes also features “N.A.R.S. Remix – ft. Missy Elliott and Azealia Banks” and the “Leo Justi Remix.” It’s available July 3 via digital retailers, and also as a USB necklace. Order them at Maya’s website. Expect her fourth official full-length to arrive this fall on N.E.E.T./Interscope and remind yourself what she told us about it here: M.I.A. on Her New Music and New Job: Designing Beer Bottles.
